The 20,000 non linear History Of The Image
Lascaux caves are the earliest evidence of man made image. No one knows what it is about.
Rothko wanted his pieces to feel like an abbis. Like space. Looming into void. Killed himself.
Galleries always make thing seem more important than they may be.
If the institution bigs up the art then they make it important and they really are the visual communicators by giving it power. We're told that it's powerful. Gift shops also add to the power from capitalism and consumerism.
Stalin banned modern expressionistic art and just wanted everyman art. Therefore restricting expression and patronising the people.
Communicating ideas can be powerful for political and social use. Art can be a weapon.
Links back because it's all about doing art without thinking. It links us all.
Image immortalised everything.
Power. Change the world
